WE WANT SUGGESTIONS. Send Some!

Ever wonder what it takes to revolutionize an industry and change lives for the better? Ralph Braun, the visionary behind BraunAbility, did just that. Join us as we explore his incredible journey and lasting legacy in the world of mobility solutions. From adaptive vehicles like our own customized 2022 Chrysler Pacifica to the innovation BraunAbility continues to deliver, we weigh the pros and cons of purchasing new versus used vehicles for those with mobility challenges. Discover how BraunAbility remains a beacon of accessibility worldwide, even as it navigates challenges like signage shortcomings.
Treating people with disabilities with respect is not just polite—it's essential. Through heartfelt personal anecdotes, we discuss how small gestures, such as simply asking about someone's needs, can profoundly impact those with disabilities. Learn about the often-overlooked nuances of respectful interaction, from avoiding assumptions in medical settings to steering clear of patronizing behavior. In our discussion, we emphasize the importance of empathy and understanding in creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone.
Enter the world of wheelchair etiquette with Kevin as your guide. From the humorous to the awkward, his experiences shed light on the communication and environmental challenges wheelchair users face daily. Discover why asking permission before touching a wheelchair is crucial, and how to effectively assist individuals with low vision. As we wrap up, we invite you to continue the conversation on our new YouTube channel, "Making the Lemonade," where you can share your thoughts and insights. Join us in building a community committed to fostering understanding and respect for all.
